	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 670, Papan.  Transit districts:  property acquisition.
   Existing law authorizes the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit
District, the Santa Clara County Transit District, and the San Mateo
County Transit District to take by gift, or take or convey by grant,
purchase, devise, or lease, and hold and enjoy, real and personal
property of every kind within or without the district necessary to
the full or convenient exercise of the district's powers.
   This bill would authorize those powers for those districts as
necessary for, incidental to, or convenient for, transit-oriented
joint development projects, as defined, that comply with the land use
and zoning regulations of the city, county, or city and county in
which the project is located.
   The bill would extend the authority granted under the bill to any
joint powers agency of which the San Mateo County Transit District is
a member and for which that district serves as the managing agency.
